Borderlands 2 Season Pass To Cost $29.99, Includes Four Expansions

DLC Schedule Revealed

Gearbox has revealed that Borderlands 2 will receive four expansion packs before June 2013, each of which will each feature "several hours of gameplay and introduce new adventures, allies, enemies and environments." They'll set you back about $9.99 or 800 Microsoft Points individually, but a newly-announced Season Pass will offer players a 25% discount.

The Borderlands 2 Season Pass includes $39.96 of add-on content and will be available for $29.99 (PSN and PC) or 2400 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE). Once purchased, the Borderlands 2 Season Pass enables gamers to download all of the announced add-on content campaigns for free as they become available on the PlayStation®Network, Xbox LIVE and PC. As mentioned, all four add-on content campaigns are scheduled to be available by June 2013.

British pricing is TBA.

The Mechromancer Class will be downloadable for pre-order customers as soon as she's ready, and will be made accessible for purchase "60-90 days" after launch.

If they are actually "Expansions", as understood from games of yore, then $29.99 seems like a pretty good price. If they are merely a few added extras that do not constitue an entirely new playing experience to rival the original game, then it seems like a greedy cash-in.
